Now it's November

First of all, thanks again for your wonderful comments and suggestions! Reading them always brings a smile to my face! To answer the most asked question: the trousers are from H&M, hence the pretty pricetag.
Also, someone asked me about the fur jacket. Well, I can assure you that it's a faux one. I am disgusted by real fur and would never wear it.

Obviously, I felt like writing a post today, but I didn't really have a clue of what it should be about. So I figured I'd just start by sharing some new purchases with you (however boring that might be).
Thursday I went to a thriftstore and there I found these pretty camera's. Eventhough I already own a polaroid sx 70 camera, this one came with an external flash, so I couldn't possibly pass it up!
As I was so happy with my subscription to Vogue Paris, I decided to subscribe to Jalouse as well. There's just something about French magazines that appeals to me (you know, the certain je ne sais qoui factor ;)). And they're amazingly cheap, even when you take in the pretty high shipping rates. I already mentioned my new dvdbox in my last post and then there's Bulgakov's the Master and Margarita. It's such an amazing book, but unfortunately, I never got the chance, or took the time, to finish it. I'm sure that now it's waiting in my bookcase, that will happen soon though.

No explanation needed:

A while ago some of you asked me about my paper cranes, well here they are:

Last but not least, I was wondering, is there something else you want to see on this blog? Or perhaps something you'd like to see more of? Is there a topic you would like me to dedicate a post to? I'd love to hear some of your thoughts as inspiration seems to be running a bit low these days.

Hope you have a happy sunday!!

Time flies

Bonjour mes lecteur(e)s!

Thank you very much for all the lovely comments, I will try to catch up on responding to them as soon as possible!

the adorable Ariella from pearls in your hair tagged me with the habits list, so let's start with that:

1. Clothes shop: I don't know. I'm having such a hard time finding anything decent these days. Whether I go to H&M or to a more exclusive store, almost nothing manages to live up to my expectations. The fit is wrong, colours are off, the overall style of current collections is simply not my cup of tea. And I'm affraid that isn't going to change anytime soon. Fortunately I really like clothes hanging in my closet.

2. Furniture shop: Ikea. I don't care about the fact that probably half the world owns my hensvik bookcase or my hjärta pillow. I love everything they sell and if I could live in an actual Ikea store, believe me, I would.

3. Sweet: icecream smoothies with strawberries and banana.

4. City: Paris aka my one true love <3

6. Music: lately I've been going through a Michael Jackson and the Doors phase, I literally can't stop listening to them. And I'm terribly excited about Kings of Leon's new album that will be released on september the 22nd.

7. Tv-series: I just love Jericho. It's such a shame they never got to finish the second season, my monday nights will never be the same. Other than that I'm probably the biggest Law & Order Criminal Intent fan you will ever meet. I can watch every single episode over and over again and still not get bored. I'm also crazy about 24. My family even makes jokes about it. Last year my mother got me a fake Jack Bauer watch for Christmas, I'm telling you, it was the best gift ever!

8. Film: At the moment I'm obsessed with Juno, as you might have read in my previous post. I can't get over how charming that movie is.

9. Work out: I don't work out. At all. I wish I could convince myself to get off my lazy butt and do something but I just hate sports. The only exercise I get is walking my dog, and that's not even something I do on a regular basis, yes shame on me.

10. Pastries: I think I love all pastries. Especially chocolate croissants, cupcakes, creampuffs, cheesecake, you name it.

11. Coffee: I don't drink coffee. Starbucks is only good for one reason and that would be their chocolat frappuchino's. Now those I do drink!

This week I purchased the most awesome camera on ebay! A Fujifilm instax instant camera to be exact. It's pretty similar to a Polaroid camera yet the film is a lot cheaper and more importantly, still produced! Now I'm anxiously awaiting it's arrival ;)

Yet another tag. The lovely Mila from Loveology gave me a present (thanks!), a bff gold card and I don't even have to spend the money wisely! So what shall I use this generous gift for?

To prevent the list from getting endless I will only name 5 'things', starting with:
- a little Puggle friend for Max. They are just too cute!
- a month long trip to la belle Paris together with my friends. So we can wander around the city, take a trillion photographs, eat good food and do some serious fall shopping

- a diana dreamer camera and a lifelong supply of film. I've been in love with this pretty version of the diana camera ever since it first appeared on urbanoutfitters.com
- chinese food, loads and loads of it

- a holiday to an exotic place with my family

I'm not going to tag anyone this time, but if you feel like answering one or both of the above tag questionnaires, consider yourself tagged by me ;)

This morning, after a relentless search, I was finally able to track down the new issue of Lula magazine. When it's first scan's started circulating the web I wasn't at all enthousiastic, but the more saw the more I liked it and when I was finally able to gaze at this issue in real life I was sold. It's once again filled with beautiful photography and great interviews, quite a relief when mainstream magazines are getting more and more dull each month.

That's it for today, perhaps I'll do another post tomorrow. Have a great weekend!

Self Service

I'm thinking about ordering the latest issue of Self Service but I'm not quite sure if it's worth the 28 euros. The fact that it's more of a book than a magazine seems to justify the price but I'm still a bit hesitant. Can anyone who has this issue, or a previous one, tell me if it's any good? Merci beaucoup.

Lula love

Received my very own copy of Lula magazine today. And it couldn't have come at a better time! It's perfect for a little bit of daydreaming. And I like how it is (once again) filled with pretty editorials and nice articles. I think I have my evening planned.

I also got my ticket for the kooks concert. Only six weeks to go!

Daily Inspiration

Siri Tollerød in the new issue of Lula. I never particularly liked her but she looks really pretty in this editorial! Ordered the new Lula a few days ago, so with a little bit of luck it will be on my doormat by next week. Can't wait!
